Good afternoon, everyone.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and a motion adopted by the committee on Tuesday, January 30, 2018, the committee resumes the study on the current state of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans' small craft harbours.
We have three witnesses today. We have Ms. Sarah Shiels, a lawyer with Clifford Shiels Legal. We also have Mr. Facey, from Digby Neck Harbour Authority. By video conference, from Wedgeport Harbour Authority, we have Lucien LeBlanc, spokesperson for that organization.
Welcome, everyone. We'll start with opening statements. Everybody will have up to seven minutes.
We'll start with Ms. Shiels, when you're ready.
